Down the hall they go, Bruno in front, Ruteb behind him, Wilson in the rear, reversing Bruno’s route of four hours earlier. The other rooms seem deserted. In fact, the facility feels like an office building on a Sunday morning—which, Bruno realized, it is.

Bruno stops at the door leading out into the main concourse. “What’s the holdup?” Wilson says.

“Voices.”

Wilson slides forward and, as quietly as possible, opens the door enough so she can see.

She waits.

Ruteb says, “Why don’t we stay here? It seems safer.”

“Come on,” Wilson says. “Once you’re out that door, you’ve immigrated.”

Ruteb looks to Bruno. “Technically. But you will still be liable for detention, even prosecution—”

“Shut up, Bruno,” Wilson says, opening the door all the way. “Take yes for an answer.”

Bruno nods to Ruteb, too. Go.
